Netopia 2247nwg-vgx wifi gateway

Please help, thank you. Rayzipan , Feb 22, Rayzipan , Feb 23, Also, I don't see where the WPA encryption is supported. This may be due to an earlier firmware version that the user guide is set up for.

Have you upgraded the firmware? Does the wireless adapter also support WPA? You can check through the properties of it. Hope this helps. Hi, I have not upgraded the firmware. Rayzipan , Feb 24, From the weakest to the strongest, Wireless security capacity is. All devices MUST be set to the same security level using the same pass phrase. Therefore the security must be set according what ever is the best possible of one of the Wireless devices.

You should end up with a screen like this :. And thats it! Make sure that you saved changes after each step and if anything went wrong you can always reboot the router by inserting in into the hole in the back until the light at the front turns red and try repeating the steps again.

As you can see, this has given me great signal from where before it would have been dropping. I hope this guide proves useful to those of you that were in my situation. It was made in 15 mins so Leave a comment if you have any questions or spot something that I may have left out. Categories: How-To's. November 1, at pm. Wonderful read! February 22, at pm. The problem is I have not gotten a clue how to do this. Can anybody help? Also would it be possible to have two wireless networks?

Regards Sean. January 29, at pm. I just want to know that If we connect a router with another router. March 8, at pm.

If you put the rooters on different channels, and they are located in different parts of the house, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the one with the strongest signal. If one of your routers is on channel 1, then put the other on channel 3 or 4. Just keep a distance between the channels. July 13, at pm. July 24, at pm. March 28, at pm. I would recommend setting the wireless channels at 1, 6 and 11 as this avoids conflict between the wifi radios within each device i.

If a 4th device is being added, then you have to assess which of the above three devices it is going to be furthest away from the 4th device on your network and then select channel 1 or 6 or 11 again. Bear in mind that microwave ovens can also interfere with wifi access points, as they operate in the same frequency range. The techies call this co-channel interference.

Using this arrangement at a wireless level should optimise your wifi setup. Sorry for being a bit long-winded………. Great comment. Channel selection is very important for maintaining connection and speed.

Its easy nowadays to scan the channels and see how crowded the area is. February 9, at pm. But it did not prevent the new WLAN from working. However, my first existing WLAN can no longer be connected to. Is there any way around this problem? I am sure you have solved this in the mean time but there must be an option to disable DHCP somewhere.

There are several versions of interface for these Eircom routers but the features are more or less the same. January 30, at am. Charles, Did you have to use powerline adapters mate or was it possible to just use the Buffalo air station N and the 4 x NWG routers?? October 24, at pm. This guide was exactly what I needed to use a WG to boost wireless signal with an ethernet connection to the main router via powerline networking.

Many thanks! October 11, at pm. Third question. Have 2 questions 1 The DSL light on the bridged modem the second one is flashing constantly, not sure how to turn it off or even if it matters.

Also should the SSIDs be the same? Not sure how devices are going to handle switching between wireless routers Any advice appreciated. May 31, at am. Sorry please note my typo in my post above — I am actually using NWG routers and not the wg. Just to add to the thread. I have found when adding the more recent WG model router to a lan cable from your main house route simple by un ticking the DCHP box instantly converts it to a wireless repeater.

I have successfully installed an addition 4 routers to my my house router in this manner. My house and garden is now saturated with a strong wifi signal. April 8, at pm. Am i missing something? March 24, at pm. According to a few boards. Sorry I cant be of more help. February 20, at pm. Hey Dan, First of all cheers for putting this up. The DSL light is not showing up at all after reboot and accessing the router again requires a restart. Do I need to do anything to the primary router which is the new eircom Zyxel.

February 26, at pm. Hi Darragh, cheers for the intrest. I imagine your setup is something like this? In order to connect to the second router you have to change its default IP address of This is done on the DHCP server configuration page. I set my extender to This allows my access to both routers on the network.

Then you know the adapters are working and the issue is with the 2nd router. January 6, at pm. January 13, at pm. To my knowledge you can only have 1 DSL router connected to your phone line. In order to operate a second you would have to pay for a second line subscription. In order to extend your Wireless range your looking at either an Access point or a wireless range extender. In this guide I am using the second router as an access point.

January 2, at pm. I am not familiar with TP-Link range extenders but the setup process should be relatively easy. Depending on what model of range extender you have it should be as simple as connecting the extender to the router via a cat5 LAN cable and then setting up the wireless extender to your own preferences.

November 8, at pm. Cheers for this Dan. Might actually get a decent connection downstairs now. August 28, at pm. Would it be somewhere else. June 29, at am. Dan Thanks Dan. By the way — seems not all the Eircom Netopia WG boxes have their menus exactly the same as you show. It probably depends on the firmware revision. July 2, at am.
